Some of the best diorama work many of you have ever seen on this and many other boards, were made because the artists dared cross from the Green aisle over to the Pink aisle, finding things to use that otherwise they would not find in the "Boy's Action Figure Section" alone. Mattel Barbie has been putting out fantastic product for Children's play and Adult Collecting, and plenty of it.

This little figure of "Ham Chuck" I made to use for a diorama of the movie "The Green Berets", I made from a very well "played with" Barbie family figure and shoes, mixed with items from the Hasbro JFK set, and combined with Sideshow, Cotswold, and 21st Century items to complete the scene.

Okay, set up day, did some "cherry picking" among just a few of the 55 tables of stuff that is in this show!!!. I will try tomorrow to cover what I couldn't focus on today.

Vintage toys, dolls, accessories, bodies, heads, wigs and hair, clothing sets, vehicles, boxed sets both open and still sealed, and not just Barbie. Super high end collectibles, with prices that amazed me you could get some of the displayed items for, some I have never seen before, not even online. From 10AM till 3PM, this show is going to fly by.

This dealer loves to collect and specialize in MIMB figures, but sells open and loose figures too. She has some of the most awesome stuff I ever saw in one place, and it isn't hard to see why she is one busy lady during this kind of show.

But Gunny, that isn't 1/6, and it doesn't have tons of articulation!!! No, it isn't and it doesn't, but the figure and the price was awesome, and who says you can't combine different scales and types to create an overall mood or use one to attract people to come look closer at the others! There is a complete USO Show accessory set for this figure, and I hope to obtain one to help in future work in supporting Vets in future events.
